What they always do. Send in armed men with guns? Export Controls. Import Controls. National Security Laws.

Good luck doing that in China?
You can send armed men to your house, or restrict companies in America from using these models.
They can also restrict US providers from serving these models. Looking at OpenRouter, there is currently 11 providers for 'DeepSeek V4 Flash 0731' with the only non-US one being Deepseek themselves, which aren't even the cheapest.

Interesting.
If I were a western lab, might I be tempted to subsidize at least one faster & cheaper provider for Chinese models to keep even more data from leaving the US?
(I know in this case there can just be more efficient providers, am asking more than speculating)

Crazy how all the 5 eyes nations banned Huawei within like 18 months of each other.
For certain specific uses. As a consumer I can still buy Huawei phones. As a business I can still buy Huawei routers, if I feel so inclined.
Europe still heavily uses Huawei though, so it’ll be the same with Chinese models
Import control would only affect US? Also good luck sending armed men to China.
